Remember, in May 2018, Mamoudou Gassama became a true national hero by climbing the facade of a Parisian building located in the 18th arrondissement to save a child suspended in the video. Very quickly, the video of this extraordinary rescue had been strongly relayed on social networks and the 22-year-old young man from May had been thanked by Emmanuel Macron in person. To thank him for this heroic act, the President of the Republic had also naturalized him when he was in an irregular situation.
At the same time, Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, awarded him the Grand Vermeil medal from the City of Paris, the capital’s highest distinction, and praised his “courage” while the Paris Fire Brigade had offered him a contract…
Four years after this feat, Mamoudou Gassama is still being talked about. The young man was indeed invited to try his luck in the program “Ninja Warrior” on TF1. The young man of course accepted and showed himself determined to win all the tests. And as he soared through the air, viewers tweeted their annoyance. The latter were indeed very upset against Denis Brogniart and Christophe Beaugrand who, on several occasions, flayed the name of the young man.
It’s Mamoudou. Not Mamadou. #NinjaWarrior”, “On the other hand, it’s MamOUdou not Mamadou… #NinjaWarrior”, “uh, it’s Mamoudou and not Mamadou” can we read on the social network. The channel was also mistaken about the name of the candidate since the banner displayed “Mamadou” and not “Mamoudou”…
